User Reviews for Combivent Respimat inhalation

I used combivent for my asthma for years. About 3 months ago I had to switch to combivent respimat. Since then I have had to have a six day round on prednisone twice. This inhaler is not the same as the original. I am very unhappy with the change and can see that many other comments say the same.

I have asthma. Was on the old Combivent for many years and had good control. Since changing to the Combivent Respimat 3 months ago I have had to go on a 6 day round of methylprednisolone twice to get the wheezing under control. Frustrating when they say that it is the same medicine but by the other comments I am not the only one noticing a change.

I have been on the old rescue inhaler medication for years and it helped my COPD very well. This new respimat is horrible...does not help at all and it is very expensive for me. Also if you have to go over so many inhalations a month, you are out of luck, since it only gives you 4 times a day. Not happy at all with this...and now the Ventolin I am doesn't help near as much..

Before this medicine I couldn't take a shower without gasping for air due to COPD and heart failure now I can shower with 1 spray.The negative is I thought it made my over all breathing condition become worse.

This is horrid. The old combivent helped immensely...this stuff is crap!

I was diagnosed with COPD in 1998 and had used the old Combivent inhaler up until 9/20/13. From that time on I've been using the new Combivent Respimat model. since using it I have had severe bleeding of my gums, which never happened before. I will see my pulmonologist next week and ask for something different. obliviously someone needed something to do to justify a paycheck the day this came out. I've read 46 reviews and only 3 have rated it worthy of delivering what it is SUPPOSE to do. That should tell the FDA, manufacturer and anyone else something is a miss in Denmark. Hate to change to a different better rapid relief inhaler, but the side effect has gotten to be too much for me. Go back and put the old style Combivent where it should have been all a long; on the pharmacy's shelves! Read More Read Less

I have been using combivent for about 2 months. I have copd and was told to use this and not to use my rescue inhaler. I have had to use my rescue inhaler more then before because this medicine has made me cough all the time and I am more out of breath then I have been since I was diagnosed. I was afraid that I was getting worse, but I believe that it is the combivent causing my symptoms to be worse. I am going to stop using it and have my doctor prescribe something else.

It does not work , it burns my throat, it does nothing for what I use it for.

This was prescribed as a rescue inhaler to replace the old combievent. I do not need to use it on a regular basis. Can anyone tell me why it must be thrown away after three months when the expiration date isn't up for two years? It is expensive, inconvenient and does not work as well as the old version. And again.....I ask.....why do you have to just throw it away after three months? What a waste.....I will be asking for something different at my next check up.

Used the old Combivent for years and always had good results. I have been using the new one for 5 days and I cannot breathe. What a waste of money! Unfortunately the mail order drug company has sent me 6 Respimats without every receiving a prescription--but they wont' take them back. I am going to replace the Combivent with 2 inhalers with a high price tag, and will have to just write off the $1400.00 I spent on a drug that was not ordered. I am going to write my congressman, Rep. Huelskamp of Kansas, who told me the last time I wrote that he just didn't care what I thought. But maybe I will feel better for having written. Is there any way we dissatisfied consumers can effect a change--and get our old Combivent back? Read More Read Less

This does not seem to work for my Asthma since the switch. I use as my rescue inhaler and my asthma has been worse since switching to Combivent Respimat.

This appears to have less than 1/2 of the quantity of the old inhaler. Difficult to use and spray goes more in your mouth and face than lungs! Go back to the drawing board

Went thru 14 twist before any product came out. Not as effective as old combivent, had to get Doctor to increase to max dosage and still not as good.

There should be a NO STARS option. My health and breathing has declined rapidly with this product.

I have carefully documented and notorized all the problems since my health has declined since the new forced respimat switch and have instructed my Children to file a wrongful death law suite when my passing comes if i have not successfully gotten compensated for the disability it has caused me while still living.

does not work

ORAL THRUSH. I used the old combivent for 5 yrs with no problems and since the forced switch to the new combivent respimat i have had continuous oral thrush. so no i am on nystatin suspension for the rest of my life. the oral thrush turns into lung & intestinal thrush. TERRIBLE product! (the new respimat) I want the old combivent back!

Not easy to use when out of breath. And half the time NO SPRAY comes out & yes i am doing it right. Half the mist when it does work goes all over the face not in the lungs. If they wanted to pick on a product for clean air they should have picked on hairsprays or engine cleaners etc that really do polute the air. The old combivent NEVER poluted the AIR.... believe me it was expensive and like gold to a copd sufferer & went STRAIGHT down the throat into the lungs. NO ONE EVER sprayed it into the air! Someones bright idea of ho to kill people with COPD & smoking related illness off. Thats all it is.So now I have to add ANOTHER RESCUE inhaler (ventolin) to my daily meds. I am sure this was something Obama endorsed. I am looking into sueingRead More Read Less

NOT a rescue inhaler. Half the dose and twice the price and it doesn't work. No warning when it's going to just stop working. The old Combivent worked great. Nothing good to say about it. Another gov ordered rip off.
